In the lovely town of Penzance, a strategic point for exploring the spectacular surroundings, is the last station of the railway line from London goes to West Cornwall. I will try to explain briefly how to get to Penzance and find a pleasant accommodation.
1: search, from any Italian airport, a cheap flight to London: the opportunities out there, both with budget airlines like Ryanair and Easyjet, and (on the dates and times more "losers") with the airlines Alitalia and British Airways.
2: From London you can take a direct train from Paddington station to Penzance, with stops at all major stations in southern England. The ticket price can be very odious or ridiculous, depending on the tariff and the advance by which you decide to buy a ticket. For information and reservations, visit: http://www.firstgreatwestern.co.uk/ . The journey is long, takes about 5 hours a half, but the view is interesting and the train comfortable, clean, with a restaurant car. The railroad, for long stretches, runs along the sea on your right showing the green hills typical of the English countryside: the trip can be conceived, therefore, as a quick and relaxing way to collect a sum of all the beauties of England South.
alternative means of achieving Penzance can be a rental car or bus. Being a long journey, in my opinion, the driving time is recommended only if at least two people can share driving, or if you plan to do steps and nights on the road.
The journey by bus, departing from Victoria Station, (visit: http://www.nationalexpress.com/ ) is longer and probably less convenient than in By train: about 8 hours to reach Penzance, compared with a saving of a few pounds ...
3: come to Penzance, which will not reach the accommodation you have booked in advance via the internet (since it is a town with a limited and very popular campground in the summer) and begin exploring using the bus service in departure from the station or the car you have hired in London. Do not miss the spectacular Land's End, the Incredible Minnack Theatre, Porthcurno Bay, the charming town of St. Ives and St. Michael's Mount indispensable!
In the next post will show you how to get to the beautiful Isles of Scilly, for now, good planning of the first part of the trip!
